ITV The Chase contestant asks Bradley Walsh to stop the show

Fan favourite ITV show The Chase can often be tense and, on the flip side, show host Bradley Walsh can often have viewers and contestants in stitches. However, it isn't often that a contestant will ask Bradley to stop filming. The moment came after a quizzer spotted a problem.

According to Nottinghamshire Live sister publication, Liverpool Echo, during an episode of The Chase: The Bloopers, Bradley looked back on some of his funniest moments from the show and revealed the surprise request. In one scene, a contestant named John can be seen taking on the head-to-head.

In the clip, Bradley said: "Here's your next question", before John quickly responded with: "Can we just stop Bradley, sorry."

Pointing to a flap on the screen, he added: "That hasn't opened." Bradley quickly explained: "It won't open, it's automatic, when I say 'the chase is on' it starts to open. It's like magic, in fact the way that opens, there's a certain time of life where you wish you had a piece of that."

Resuming to his presenting duties, Bradley turned back to the camera and said: "For £7,000, the chase is on." At that moment, the flap, which prevents The Chaser from seeing which answer the contestant has pressed, opened. Bradley said: "I'm like a wizard."

The bloopers left fans at home in stitches, with one tweeting: "Bradley Walsh is a national treasure I love him #thechase." Another said: "This is so funny #TheChase." With a third adding: "Watching #TheChase bloopers. Very funny." Another viewer said simply: "Bloopers so funny."
